Better late than never? (NBR)

in TTC After a Loss

Uh, who sends a wedding gift a year after the wedding?

We just got a pressure cooker (WTF do you use one of those for anyway?) from one of DH's parent's friend.  

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it!  But WTF?

Just had a funny thought......maybe they wanted to make sure we stayed together before they made the investment?  Hmm

    You can use a pressure cooker for canning!! LOL-I don't know why I know that. That's very weird they sent you a gift a year after the fact.

    We got wedding presents up until a year and half after our wedding.  

    Um pressure cookers cook food in a pressurized manner?!?!?!?  LOL I don't know I barely cook, DH is the wife in our house.

    I think it is acceptable (although not common) to get wedding gifts up to a year after a wedding.  The pressure cooker is an unusual choice - I didn't even know they still made those things!!  My mom used to have one, but I am fairly certain that she got rid of it years ago.   

    Although, I guess it's nice that they got you something, albeit something less than useful.  My 2 adult male cousins (they are brothers) both attended my wedding (one is married, but his wife couldn't come) and neither of them got me anything - ever.  Not that I needed a gift, but a card would have been nice. 

    Good luck looking up recipes for the pressure cooker I'd be interested to see what you make in it - I think my mom used it to make swiss steak.

    You can cook really fast in a pressure cooker. The meat isn't pretty, though. It's good for casseroles and such. Be careful, though, my friend burnt her hand on hers.

    A pressure cooker is for canning.

    We had a small wedding, 50 people including us.  And I was surprised at the people that did not give us gifts.  Not that we needed it.  But when it is only 50 people, it is a bit more noticeable.  Maybe we still have a pressure cooker heading our way.

    There were relatives at our wedding that never got us gifts. Some of them had said they were waiting on it, but we never got it lol. It's been over 2 years so I'm not holding my breath.
